I’m Bradley Pike, a 17 year old curler curling out of the Lethbridge Curling Club.

I’m looking to either join or make a U18/U21 Mens team for the 2022/2023 season.

I’d prefer a team with a top 3 finish at a provincial event however I’m open to look at every opportunity. I wouldn’t mind playing with a team aging out of U15s in the 2021/2022 season.
